Federation of Calgary Communities: March is Community Association Awareness Month

Hey Calgary!

March is Community Association Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to discover the amazing things happening in your neighbourhood!

Community associations are at the heart of our city – organizing events, advocating for neighbourhood life, and helping us feel connected to where we live. These non-profit organizations are run by volunteers who work hard to make your community a better place. They organize everything from family movie nights and potlucks to community gardens and sports leagues.

Did you know there are over 20,000 volunteers across Calgary making a difference? They’re people just like you, working to make their communities great places to live, work, and play.

It’s easy to get involved!

Find your local community association: Visit calgarycommunities.com to find your association and see what they offer.

Attend an event: Check their website or social media for upcoming events like movie nights, festivals, or workshops.

Volunteer your time: There are lots of ways to help, from coaching a sports team to assisting at a community garden.

Become a member: Supporting your community association with a small membership fee helps them continue their important work.

Please join The City of Calgary and the Federation of Calgary Communities in showing our appreciation for the hard work of our community volunteers in March.
